My brother used to raise pigs. We live near a canning factory and he let them dump all their scraps in with the pigs. They just absolutely loved all the veggies. It was also all free feed for my brother. The pigs really grew fast with all that food. Thanks for the video. I always look forward to seeing your content. Your channel is one of my favorites!!
Thanks Joel! The main pen is right by the road, I tell my friends go ahead and throw garden waste etc over to them and let them have at it! I’m really glad you are enjoying the channel!
Well as usual your video is the last before bedtime. Puts a lil grin on my face watching the farm life especially when babies are involved. So how much fun is that taking the Mrs. On a date to pick up piggies? I appreciate your kindness to them on their first few days being away from their old home. Y’all take care
Thanks Wendy! I’m glad my videos made the bedtime routine haha! The Mrs. and I always have fun even doing things like this! I try to be good to them, they feed my family so it’s only right to make their time here as pleasant as possible!
Great video Farmer Tyler, They do need a little heat cause it has been a cold spring. Good man with a good heart. Treat your animals and your future meat with respect. piglet are just so cute! As far as the negative comments, pay no never mind to those you are awesome. have a blessed week, see ya soon.
I love how you are considerate in your vids to other people who might not understand. You are a great farmer/rancher. I should have been a country boy! I gotta degree in fisheries and wildlife science! God bless you tyler!
Thank you for sharing your secret with us!! I want to get pigs in the spring, so I’m thankful for any tips and pricks you might have!! Love the channel! Great into by the way!! 😉☺️☺️
i am with you about the heat light and the feed and little extra comfort you can give them in a new place the better helps them adjust better and faster i think
@@farmertylerranch4399 if it is wrong i am doing wrong to lol i even do extra with my used equipment i buy now and then when they say something that has been done and it looks iffy at best it has been done i will do it again just for peace of mind just cause it says it on paper dont mean the wrenches have been in threre been burnt on it one time never again
That was great. The wife too. Good voice for the videos. Mine sounds like a squeaky little girl. Back when we had house phones people would ask if my mommy was home.
Thanks Hay Man she did do a great intro only took her two or three tries. Actually the first one was better but her thumb was covering half of the lens!!
Loved the intro , see the wife got her seat back , lol guess she could have said come on rapid fire, on the question/ answers .... it's been along time since I've been around the little feeder pig's, I don't remember dad and grandpa feeding a gourmet meal like that tho 🤔😉👍
BTO WannaB I filmed a clip where I told Maggie, “You’re not the wife today, you’re the babysitter”, but he cut it! He’s such a tough producer/director.... 😉
@@farmertylerranch4399 yes spoil um , lol ,I think happy livestock are productive and healthy and give ya the best rate of gain !! Your gonna really enjoy the results before you know it !! 🥓🐖👍
My dad had a concoction of whey and ground corn that we would let percolate in a 50 gal drum for a few days .It smelled disgusting but our hogs would inhale it.We fed dry feed in self feeders so this was a nice low cost way to keep feed costs down!Moving weaner pigs by the back leg was always the easiest way to handle them.Enjoy your vids !
Tyler, next time you are going to spill the bacon on the secret hog food, we need to alert the vendors, I can see it now at the feed store, we need goat milk replacer!!! LOL Cute little rascals, just makin' little pigs of themselves!!!
Tip: wherever pigs start to use the "restroom" they will always "go" there. Start them off in your preferred spot Confining them to their future bathroom. After the first week open up the rest of the pen and they will continue doing their " business in that spot (preferably low corner) that drains. Like humans and dogs they do not like mixing business with pleasure.lol Also like dogs once they start that they will always mess all over.
True about dogs!!! I have had a number of dogs. Every one has gone as far away from the house as possible to do their business, except one. Gracie was a puppy mill dog who lived in a cage. She thinks it normal and acceptable to pee and poop in the house; even right in her bed. She has to be confined to the back porch because I can’t deal with an 85 pound dog peeing and pooping in the house all the time. I spent two years trying to potty train her when I got her at the age of 8 years. She is now 11 years old and I don’t let her in the main parts of the house. In the summer she spends a lot of time outside.
It got so there wasn't a sale barn that sold then locally any more. When your old and feeble like me. You pretty much done it all. Never had sheep though. HaHa
Oh yeah man you guys should do it! Minimal space required and easy to raise. My theory is if you’re going to raise one for yourself may as well raise a few more to sell. It’s the same amount of work to raise one or five really. Thanks Chris!
Yes sir, food makes for a good learning conversation even if it is pigs. When we were growing up, mom and dad always had us talking at the table. After we got older and had activities outside the family, mom made sure that we had at least one meal a day as a family. You're right about pigs. Food somehow eliminates shyness quickly. Plus it's a great time to check and see up close how they're doing.👍🐖☺
piggies yeahhhhhhhhh they are so cute, its slop it should look gross but it is healthy for them , some folks put apple cider vinegar and garlic in the pig feed to help them boost up , hugssss from Ontario Canada
Thanks Tammy! I’ve seen guys swear by that apple cider vinegar, I’ll have to look into it. Garlic is a new one on me. So I have to ask, where do pig videos rank for you?
@@farmertylerranch4399 it is a animal so i love it any farm animal videos make me happy but i like homesteading videos with lots of different animals but my fave are cows for sure
Those are some spoiled piglets LOL. Mine usually start eating whatever mama does at 3 weeks I wean em off at 4 weeks to save mom and castrate at 2 weeks. My one sow Browny had 11 and 10 made it and my other sow Lard azz had 14 on Jun 1st and 12 are still making it. Great job and always spoil your animals as much as possible and you will always be successful. 👍
@@farmertylerranch4399 she can feed 12 but in 3 weeks she will be getting thin and run down. I just pour the feed to her and get the piglets started as early as possible. Usually around 2.5-3 weeks they're eating her food
I like your style poolside with AC .. any chance you got a refrigerator full of Coors light with blue mountains !!!! .. I see that 5-star blanket too I'm sure they'll sleep in at Tyler's resort bar and grill .. and the cook is Top Notch !!! Eggs and bacon hell yeah .. lol
Nice looking group of pigs. The way they're going after that feed, you're going to need a bigger feed pan soon. LOL They look so cute but, they're gonna be so tasty. LOL I'm going to have to fry up some bacon now. LOL Stay safe.
Thanks Crslyrn! Yeah they are going to move up to a real feeder probably tomorrow. They are definitely cute now but as I always say, when they’re big enough to harvest, they ain’t so cute anymore! You know bacon sounds good now!
Wow the pigs are finally here! And I see they just love the special food you make & you had to get a bigger bowl too lol Well after 4 days look like they fattened up some already 🐖❤
Yep here we go again! I was surprised how good they tore into that and yes you noticed I had to get them a bigger pan, probably could use an even bigger one! Thank you Shirley!
When I was a teenager, my parents bought two pigs to raise and butcher. I like pigs. I refused to go anywhere near them though; I didn’t want to get attached and be heartbroken when it came time to butcher them. Butchering the roosters never bothered me much though; they were really mean. Nothing clears land better than pigs though. We put electric fence around the areas grown up in brush. The pigs cleared it all out over the summer and we had a nice little field area.
Our hogs from weaning about 25#, we are mid-Maine, off grid, big pile of hay for warmth under a lean-to, unlimited skim milk & whey, pasture & garden waste finish on grain last month & within 3 months for male & 4 months for female they dress 290 avg. No joke
You and your family looks awesome riding and working together on your ranch with those 🐖 that will be me some crunchy 🥓, sausage, and skin for cracklings ,I'm not going to forget about them chitterlings with me some hot sauce. They look so amazing . I see how you got them out ,I probably be scared I will drop it or it might bite me
Love how you respect your animals and take care of them. You know there’s an invention called a spoon you can stir goat milk replacer.😂I use goat milk for kittens and also their mothers
Water, Electric, Bed, and Candy feed too. Now I know where that old saying "Hog Heaven" comes from. WhooHoo up to 6K and ya got the Miss's to intro for ya without giving ya "The Look". I hate too say it but...."That'll do pig, that'll do".
The only pigs I like are the ones in the deep freeze. When they’re alive, I don’t like them. Haha! Give me cattle any day. Great video as always, Tyler!
Thanks Jay! The whole reason I got into pigs was because I love bacon and sausage so dang much! And before you know it, poof here I am wanting to start breeding them! Thanks again!
Haha! Well, since they’re all females, maybe you can keep a couple back for breeding. If I didn’t live halfway across the country from you, I’d be coming over sausage and bacon!
Yep that makes excellent feed for them. My grandpa used to raise them on spoiled milk and ice cream. He said you wouldn’t believe how fast they grew! Thanks Logan!
I just came across this video, I love the piglets. They are so cute. Are they fairly easy to raise? I remember when a Farmer friend of mine got piglets, they were so clean. They would eliminate in the same area and always away from their feed, he also had bedded them down with straw and they would bury themselves to the point only their snouts would stick out. I wonder how much feed they consume? I'm rambling. Lol! Keep up with the great videos! P.S. thanks for explaining the way you moved the pigs, I would not have known that. I would have reached in the crate and tried to cradle them like a cat! Just to drop them, while they were squealing! Lol.
Thank you Jennifer. I think pigs are very easy to raise as long as you have a good pen. I’m sure there is a formula for how much they will eat to get to harvest weight but I don’t know what it is and it will vary depending on the nutritive value. Right now mine are eating about 10 lbs each per day! But they’re getting big and it’s cooling down so they’re going to eat a lot. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks again!
@@farmertylerranch4399 Thanks for the reply, I may ask Joe (farmer friend) what it all takes. He made it look pretty easy, but then again he's been farming his entire life. I have a pen inside the barn, actually if I remember right it was a pig pen at one time. I just may get brave and get a couple piglets when Joe gets his. Take care, and good night to you and your family.
Put the lamps over the corner, and dump some straw. happy piggies. Oh boy....I knew they would love that stuff up. yummy. My grandkids would have been eating it. They were always eat the grain, and crap. They knew it drove me nuts so they make sure I seen all their grained up faces.
Good luck with them Leatonya I think they’ll like it. Mine sure did. Make sure you get the goat milk replacer, I forget all of the reasons for it but it seems to really give them a better jump than cow milk. Let me know how they do!
Is there a boar available close to home or are you gonna have to keep one for yourself. For 10 piglets per sow. Trivia: Do you know why a boar has teats?............... Other than they must have ten teats to be registered I don't have a clue. 👁👁😎. Great video as always 👍👍👍👍
If we do end up breeding our own I’ll probably just keep my own boar just to make things easier and ensure bio security. I don’t know why does a boar have teats? I’ve got a lot to learn about them too, I’m thinking the best way is to just jump right in!
Farmer Tyler Ranch I wasn't joking. A boar must have 10 teats to be registered. That way that trait is passed down. Other than that I haven't a clue. Worked for 2 hog farmer growing up. One was old feller had really good stock. Nice farrowing house then he called it nursery where they were moved after weaned was real nice. The rest of his hog shelters and buildings was literally made from scrap packing crates he brought home when younger and things were crated so the wouldn't get away. The younger guy had state of the art everything. The young guy inherited his place. Now I own a tract and a father and son each bought a track. Bankrupt.
I think you need to make a trough for them 😃😃 they are sooooo cute, adorable 😊😊 So nice to see your wife again. Your beautiful daughter next. ☺☺☺ 🐖🐷🐖🐷🐖🐷
Hello new here i really like your starter feed mix..I raise pigs also. I was wondering if you ever did a break down on what it cost to raise a hog on a per hog price???? Thanks for sharing
Hello Thomas welcome to the channel. I’ve never done a break down video but I probably will with these little guys. Of course it’s going to be different for everyone based on what your source of feed is but still I think the info is good to have. Thanks for watching!
My husband and I have recently been watching your videos, you’re right up the road from us. We raise hogs in Yolo County. If you’re interested in a shorter commute for your next batch feel free to reach out to us on instagram, halfacrefarmca and we can get connected. We love what you’re doing and seeing all of your videos!
Thanks. I’m thinking a little of both eventually. Right now they are just on feed but when they’re a bit bigger(and easier to fence) they will get some forage as well
We used to do the same thing Except we used rolled milo and calf milk replacer and made a slop couple times a day. Do you feed your pigs any hay? We used to feed ours alfalfa hay.
Thanks Kory I have thrown a bit of hay to them but not as a regular source of feed. I was thinking about putting som alfalfa through the hammer mill and seeing how they like if mixed in with the other feed. How did yours like it?
I’m sure someone will say something about the way you carried those pigs..... I’m sure they are the ones that have never been around or have been bitten by one. Just keep doing a great job. My pigs are pets but I still don’t trust them totally. I’ve seen what a sow can do that snaps...
Yeah I’m sure you’re right, but hey what can you do? Hopefully if they are watching this they’re open to learning how things are done but that’s certainly not always the case! Thanks Sisco Farms!
Hey DarkNotez first of all thank you for subscribing! We are up north of Sacramento. I’m not really sure if that’s Central Valley or North Valley? Thanks again!
@@farmertylerranch4399 , you've gotta start breeding some time might as well be this go round. Besides a set of piggletts will raise the money for a better sow. 💝☀🌵
Thanks Peter I actually used to buy my pigs in Orland from a lady named Jody. I will keep you in mind especially if I breed my own I’ll need a source for getting a boar. Thanks again!
we just sold off all our wienner piggies on june 1,2 non look like urs all hampshire all 3500 loaded and shipped off, ready to start a new batch, we only feed freshly weaned piggies crushed or crack wheat, dry, but we raise and sell natural hogs, no growth hormones given.
@@farmertylerranch4399 well hammer mill and u will make Flour, we use a kinda roller, our great grand father made it long long ago, u could check into roller mills that roll oats for race horses, it just crumbles up the kernel into digestable pieces,while whole grains go right through animals.
Hey what breed pigs are they and why did u choose that breed? About how many months or approx weight till they go to butcher? My beef customers are always asking me for pork was thinking about trying to raise some up. I’ll be following along this journey thanks for sharing Tyler👍🏿
These are out of a Yorkshire boar and a Spot sow. I’m not too picky on breeds as long as they are well known meat breeds I’m happy with them. I can usually get them to finish in 5-6 months and they hang at 200 so they were probably 250 on the hoof. I think you should go for it! My best advice is house them where mud won’t be a big issue and find a cheap way to feed them. Once these guys are a little bigger I’ll do a video on how to make your own feed and save money! Thanks TL!

The only pigs I like are the ones in the deep freeze. When they’re alive, I don’t like them. Haha! Give me cattle any day. Great video as always, Tyler!
Thanks Jay! The whole reason I got into pigs was because I love bacon and sausage so dang much! And before you know it, poof here I am wanting to start breeding them! Thanks again!
Haha! Well, since they’re all females, maybe you can keep a couple back for breeding. If I didn’t live halfway across the country from you, I’d be coming over sausage and bacon!
Glad am not a farmer of animals I know it not in me. Am glad their people like him to do it for me.
Cute piggies, one are you going to raise one for your own breeding.
Haven’t completely decided yet. These will probably all be feeder pigs maybe save one for breeding? Time will tell! Thanks Evie
We feed out like 10 pigs a year and grow them almost entirely on treated milk. They get so fat that they jiggle when they walk! Lol
Yep that makes excellent feed for them. My grandpa used to raise them on spoiled milk and ice cream. He said you wouldn’t believe how fast they grew! Thanks Logan!
Hey FTR. Man, those piglets really go nuts for your recipe. I'm going to have to give it a shot. Cheers man. ~Mike and Ester~
Yes they really do! Try it out I don’t think you will be disappointed. Thanks Mike and Ester !
There is nothing like having your own fresh pork!
You got that right! It took awhile but we finally got to a point where we don’t have to buy any meat from the store and we love it!
@@farmertylerranch4399 you don't realize how much better taste in the pork or beef when you raise your own as compared to in the store!
It doesn't take them long to figure out who brings the groceries.
Pigs are omnivorus.
Really like your videos.
Thank you very much I’m glad you do!
I just came across this video, I love the piglets. They are so cute. Are they fairly easy to raise? I remember when a Farmer friend of mine got piglets, they were so clean. They would eliminate in the same area and always away from their feed, he also had bedded them down with straw and they would bury themselves to the point only their snouts would stick out. I wonder how much feed they consume? I'm rambling. Lol! Keep up with the great videos! P.S. thanks for explaining the way you moved the pigs, I would not have known that. I would have reached in the crate and tried to cradle them like a cat! Just to drop them, while they were squealing! Lol.
Thank you Jennifer. I think pigs are very easy to raise as long as you have a good pen. I’m sure there is a formula for how much they will eat to get to harvest weight but I don’t know what it is and it will vary depending on the nutritive value. Right now mine are eating about 10 lbs each per day! But they’re getting big and it’s cooling down so they’re going to eat a lot. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks again!
@@farmertylerranch4399 Thanks for the reply, I may ask Joe (farmer friend) what it all takes. He made it look pretty easy, but then again he's been farming his entire life. I have a pen inside the barn, actually if I remember right it was a pig pen at one time. I just may get brave and get a couple piglets when Joe gets his. Take care, and good night to you and your family.
A covered pen is ideal so you won’t have mud issues like I do! I say go for it!
Didn’t take long for them to settle in!
Sure didn’t!
Nevermind the negative comments - those piglets are your investment. Do it your way!! Oh my. You need a bigger bowl!!
Thanks Itzims I appreciate that. And I got a bigger bowl already!
Put the lamps over the corner, and dump some straw. happy piggies. Oh boy....I knew they would love that stuff up. yummy. My grandkids would have been eating it. They were always eat the grain, and crap. They knew it drove me nuts so they make sure I seen all their grained up faces.
Haha that’s pretty funny! I’m sure it was no fun unless grandma got mad!
lol@@farmertylerranch4399
im going to try this with our piglets
Good luck with them Leatonya I think they’ll like it. Mine sure did. Make sure you get the goat milk replacer, I forget all of the reasons for it but it seems to really give them a better jump than cow milk. Let me know how they do!
Is there a boar available close to home or are you gonna have to keep one for yourself. For 10 piglets per sow. Trivia: Do you know why a boar has teats?............... Other than they must have ten teats to be registered I don't have a clue. 👁👁😎. Great video as always 👍👍👍👍
If we do end up breeding our own I’ll probably just keep my own boar just to make things easier and ensure bio security. I don’t know why does a boar have teats? I’ve got a lot to learn about them too, I’m thinking the best way is to just jump right in!
Farmer Tyler Ranch I wasn't joking. A boar must have 10 teats to be registered. That way that trait is passed down. Other than that I haven't a clue. Worked for 2 hog farmer growing up. One was old feller had really good stock. Nice farrowing house then he called it nursery where they were moved after weaned was real nice. The rest of his hog shelters and buildings was literally made from scrap packing crates he brought home when younger and things were crated so the wouldn't get away. The younger guy had state of the art everything. The young guy inherited his place. Now I own a tract and a father and son each bought a track. Bankrupt.
Your one-leg carrying technique looks like it works even better than the two leg carry.
Yeah it’s kind of like putting a cow in a squeeze chute, they know you got them and they just quit fighting! Thanks Rochrich!
Ill have to try the milk replacer next spring i buy two to raise every year for myself.
It works great but has to be goat (or so I was told). There’s something in there that really agrees with them! Thanks NCCATTLEMAN
They’re sooooooooo cute!!! 😍😍
It was nice of you to not film the people from the pigs!
I like so much how you treat animals and I also like your hat!
Thank you Marcos I appreciate that! Hey it’s a nice hat
They are pretty calm for 🐖
Yes not too bad. Thanks Moma Lisa!
We use 25/65 witch is 20%protein meal and has dewormer. We start them on it in the farrowing crate .
Great video
Thank you Donald!
I think you need to make a trough for them 😃😃 they are sooooo cute, adorable 😊😊 So nice to see your wife again. Your beautiful daughter next. ☺☺☺ 🐖🐷🐖🐷🐖🐷
Thanks Tyler 6-9-2022👍🏽👍🏽
Nice looking pigs
Hello new here i really like your starter feed mix..I raise pigs also. I was wondering if you ever did a break down on what it cost to raise a hog on a per hog price???? Thanks for sharing
Hello Thomas welcome to the channel. I’ve never done a break down video but I probably will with these little guys. Of course it’s going to be different for everyone based on what your source of feed is but still I think the info is good to have. Thanks for watching!
Do you ever scrub the water and food dishes
My husband and I have recently been watching your videos, you’re right up the road from us. We raise hogs in Yolo County. If you’re interested in a shorter commute for your next batch feel free to reach out to us on instagram, halfacrefarmca and we can get connected. We love what you’re doing and seeing all of your videos!
Thanks Kelsey I might just are you up on that! I’m really glad you guys like the videos, it’s cool to hear from local people!
Great feed. Cheap, readily available. Looking forward to seeing them grow. Are you going to forage them or strictly feeder pen raised?
Thanks. I’m thinking a little of both eventually. Right now they are just on feed but when they’re a bit bigger(and easier to fence) they will get some forage as well
Heat lamp good for just a couple. They like to bury in straw.
Very true! Thanks Jamie!
We used to do the same thing
Except we used rolled milo and calf milk replacer and made a slop couple times a day. Do you feed your pigs any hay? We used to feed ours alfalfa hay.
Thanks Kory I have thrown a bit of hay to them but not as a regular source of feed. I was thinking about putting som alfalfa through the hammer mill and seeing how they like if mixed in with the other feed. How did yours like it?
@@farmertylerranch4399 they loved it
Thanks 6-9-2022👍🏽👍🏽
cute piglets how old are they
Thanks Elizabeth you know I’m not exactly sure I’m thinking 8 weeks or so? Fresh off the sow.
Are you feeding them just once a day?
No they get fed twice a day. Thanks Andy!
I’m sure someone will say something about the way you carried those pigs..... I’m sure they are the ones that have never been around or have been bitten by one. Just keep doing a great job. My pigs are pets but I still don’t trust them totally. I’ve seen what a sow can do that snaps...
Yeah I’m sure you’re right, but hey what can you do? Hopefully if they are watching this they’re open to learning how things are done but that’s certainly not always the case! Thanks Sisco Farms!
How are they bred? Fine lil swine!
Hey Tyler new subscriber here, do you stay in the central valley ? Im a pig farmer in the central valley.
Hey DarkNotez first of all thank you for subscribing! We are up north of Sacramento. I’m not really sure if that’s Central Valley or North Valley? Thanks again!
How sweet
Thanks.
Thank you for watching Ghil!
Soooo? Are they boys and girls? ❤🌅🌵
These are all females. I’m not sure if we’ll keep any for breeding or not, time will tell! Thanks Suzi
@@farmertylerranch4399 , you've gotta start breeding some time might as well be this go round. Besides a set of piggletts will raise the money for a better sow. 💝☀🌵
You got a couple good points there!
I’m north of you here in Orland, I raise pigs. If you need pigs let me know.
Thanks Peter I actually used to buy my pigs in Orland from a lady named Jody. I will keep you in mind especially if I breed my own I’ll need a source for getting a boar. Thanks again!
Farmer Tyler Ranch, I know her. She sells a lot of pigs to 4h or FFA kids. My pigs are more commercial type.
we just sold off all our wienner piggies on june 1,2 non look like urs all hampshire all 3500 loaded and shipped off, ready to start a new batch, we only feed freshly weaned piggies crushed or crack wheat, dry, but we raise and sell natural hogs, no growth hormones given.
Wow that’s a lot of pigs! I was actually thinking about getting some wheat and running it through the hammer mill for them. They do pretty good on it?
@@farmertylerranch4399 well hammer mill and u will make Flour, we use a kinda roller, our great grand father made it long long ago, u could check into roller mills that roll oats for race horses, it just crumbles up the kernel into digestable pieces,while whole grains go right through animals.
Thx
Hey he liked it ! Mickey liked it !
Haha I’m just barely old enough to get that Lori! It did make me laugh though! Thanks for watching!
@@farmertylerranch4399 ouch !!! Thanks for that burn 🔥 😂😂😂
Great video, as most of yours are....
Thanks a lot Billy! What do you mean “most”?? Haha! I’m just kidding
Hey what breed pigs are they and why did u choose that breed? About how many months or approx weight till they go to butcher? My beef customers are always asking me for pork was thinking about trying to raise some up. I’ll be following along this journey thanks for sharing Tyler👍🏿
These are out of a Yorkshire boar and a Spot sow. I’m not too picky on breeds as long as they are well known meat breeds I’m happy with them. I can usually get them to finish in 5-6 months and they hang at 200 so they were probably 250 on the hoof. I think you should go for it! My best advice is house them where mud won’t be a big issue and find a cheap way to feed them. Once these guys are a little bigger I’ll do a video on how to make your own feed and save money! Thanks TL!
why you using caged hen eggs when you keep free range hens
I know the caged eggs are fresh!
